guys

it was drizzlin' a little yesterday. Was driving the car and as i exited the round-a-bout, i gently tapped the accelerator. Now,the bloody tail just slipped .I am getting annoyed with this cause i am only doing like 20km/h.

What do you think is bloody wrong?

running very good tyres on the ride (Bridgestone Potenza Re01s all four) with 70% tread.

HELP!

Does this happen in the dry also??

Maybe your tyres have to much pressure in them ie its very hard..

well it happens in the dry only if i go quick.

my tyres on the front are 39psi whilst the rears are 34psi (set accurately cause i have a michelin digital gauge).

Any ideas?

HELP!!!!

Might be useless in this post but on Sunday when it was wet I had 3 people in the car (including me) and I floored it past 6000 RPM and my ass didnt even step out... i got a rear strut and nearly new Pirelli P6s...

well my car has the rear strut and front stabiliser.

Just keep the pedal into it and apply some opposite lock coming out of the corner ;)

I find that in my car as soon as it hits boost in 1st or 2nd gears in the wet it just goes nuts. Also remember it really does depend on what mods you are running on your car as well. Power increase mods obviously get the tail snapping easy. Suspension mods such as coilovers, harder springs/struts will also have a large impact on it as well.

Having three people in the car also probably gives the car less chance of stepping out anyway. More weight over the rear wheels. Also depends if you were coming out of a corner or flooring it down a straight.

why you runnin so much pressure??

keep it around 30-32 at most.. Try that and see if it works..

I have a feelin its your tyres..

dude i will try that ;)

as i recall the skylines are to run higher pressure on front tyres because of the engine putting more weight on the car... any thoughts?

waht do you mean??

basically the rear shocks were leaking, and had lost their "shockability".... causing the rear to float allover the road, espescially around corners... and i thought it was my hicas unit playing funny buggers...lol

are u sure your not dialing up 6000rpm in 2nd gear then dropping the clutch out of the roundabout?

u must be giving that right pedal a bit of carpet action to get the ass out so easily. i have heard stories of shagged shocks attributing to this though.

I was in the wet, with 3 guys in the car including me, was turning right at the lights, took off normally in first when i hit 3000rpm the turbo kicked in and it tailed out, i wasn't doing more than 20kmph myself.

Sounds normal to me :)

How tight was this "roundabout"?

I have similar mods and I have trouble in my R32 with it. Although I do have coilovers :) If its still annoying you just hit third gear instead. I don't think there is anything wrong with your car at all. Just enjoy the nature of a RWD turbo :D

hmmmm yeah but when you slow down, the revs are too low for 3rd gear...

if this is part and parcel of the RWD turbo behaviour then it's fine. I am into learning it.

      Uncle Duncan Yeap, FI Interchiller  Works well, normal IAT's cruising with the WTA only went from 50°c+ to 25-30°c with the interchiller  Before, when on it hard, the IAT would see 80-90°c, now, the highest has been was around 38°c IIRC IAT is measured under the blower hat I recommend it for the street or strip where your only on it hard for 10 or so seconds, but it wouldn't be efficient for sustained track use as it would heat soak from the AC turning off or whatever it does during WOT to protect the compressor It really needs the AC running for it to not heat soak and keep the WTA coolant chilled My WTA coolant temps when just cruising is around 2°c

      Hey Mark...sorry to interrupt your career change to hair dressing... but...did you ever fit the interchiller to the commodore, and if so how was it? And, who made it?

      I've been pondering this, I really enjoy the convertible thing, for me, it's like riding a motorbike, without all the issue of riding a motorbike, mainly, my old sore arthritic joints getting beaten up, and, being able to do it in shorts and a T-shirt and not needing a helmet and all the other gear required, especially like wearing jackets and pants in the summer, or needing 6 layers of cloths in the winter, or not having wet weather gear handy when your 100km away from home on the bike when it decides to start raining As for the hard top and its Coupe look, whilst I do lose all that open top feeling that I really enjoy, from my experience with the NB with a detachable hard top, the cabin is a much nicer place to be, the difference in noise for one, a hard top quietens down the interior, alot, with the soft top up or down it's pretty noisy, which, after 5 or so hours, can get tiring But, as you stated, the detachable hard top totally changes the look of the car, in a really good way, and for me, the look of a detachable hard top is so much better than the PRHT which looks more like a after thought with its weird bulbous rear roof line For me, the minimal effort of putting in on, or storing it after removing it, is well worth the time and effort for the look alone And yes, I'm sure the next owner will be grateful for it as well.......
